    <div class="description">
      <p style="margin-top:0;"><span style="font-style: italic"> FAILURE'S OPPOSITE</span> presents a fresh perspective on A.M.  Klein's reception and legacy, exploring why he has remained a compelling figure  for critics and readers. His experimentalism drew upon strong traditions and  fluency in several languages-English, French, Yiddish and Hebrew-allowing him  to develop a multilingual, modernist Jewish voice that is a touchstone for  understanding Canada's multicultural identity. His struggle with the emotional  and historical dimensions of diaspora is of considerable importance throughout  his work and is investigated through the lenses of translation, voice, and his  relationship to other Jewish writers. Contributors also re-evaluate Klein's connection to  Montreal and the original ways in which he captures the atmosphere of his  &quot;jargoning city.&quot;&nbsp; The book includes contributors from all around Canada who  are new and established A.M. Klein scholars.</p>
      <p>The evening will feature readings from a chapbook of  poems compiled and edited by Jason Camlot especially for this event.&nbsp; The chapbook, entitled, THE MOUNTAIN: The  A.M. Klein Poetry Reboot Project-features rewritings of Klein's iconic poem  &quot;The Mountain&quot; by such poets as Elizabeth Bachinsky (Vancouver) Jon Paul Fiorentino (Montreal), Todd Swift  (London, UK), Erin Moure (Montreal), Seymour Mayne (Ottawa) and at least a  dozen other, rewriting Klein for poetic challenge and readerly fun.</p>
      <p>Attendance is free. Refreshments will be provided. Books  will be available for purchase.</p>

  <p>Literary studies is currently involved  with a vigorous effort to reshape our sense of the cultural past. &nbsp;The  energy has come from a number of approaches and subfields: &nbsp;race and  gender studies, historicism, postcolonialism, ethnic studies, and, in Britain  and Ireland, &quot;four-nations&rdquo; or &ldquo;archipelagic&rdquo; English. &nbsp;Very often,  new work aims to restore a literary reputation after its diminution or  dislocation. &nbsp;But if these encounters with the cultural past are to be  serious and sustained, what is needed is both a reconstitution of contexts in  which the works of the author in question were highly valued and a recuperation  of the interpretative codes and forms of sensibility that once made such works  legible. How can such acts of reconstitution and recuperation be achieved; how  are they related to one another; and what are the consequences for the wider  critical field?</p>
  <p>Professors Connolly and Chandler  examine these questions via  a consideration of the instance of the Anglo-Irish novelist Maria Edgeworth,  whose reputation has risen markedly since the 1970s. Arguably the most  important novelist writing in English in 1812, she taught both Jane Austen and  Walter Scott how to shape their own powerful and distinctive contributions to  modern fiction. &nbsp;Yet her reputation receded as theirs rose to prominence.  &nbsp;What does it means to recover her for 21st-century readership? How can we  recuperate the signal achievements and particular challenges of the  novels?&nbsp; This joint discussion of the  case of Maria Edgeworth offers a fresh exploration of some of the most pressing  problems facing literary history today. </p>

  <div class="description">
      <p align="left" style="margin-top:0;">This lecture will assess the recent turn to neuroscience in  psychoanalytic theory. &nbsp;This turn is part of a more general uptake of  neurological data beyond the sciences: in the humanities, in the social  sciences, and in public discourse. &nbsp;There are a number of important  political and methodological issues that such alliances raise: how can  interdisciplinarity work across the so-called Two Cultures without establishing  new, conservative monocultures? &nbsp;Prof. Wilson  argues for a relation between  the neurosciences and psychoanalysis that is structured by incommensurability  rather than consilience. </p>
    <p align="left">Prof. Wilson will also lead a workshop, &quot;Gut Feminism&quot; on Sept. 30 in LB-1014 at 10:00 a.m.&nbsp;&nbsp;This workshop  enquires into biological data about depression, especially in relation to new  generation antidepressant pharmaceuticals.&nbsp;&nbsp;Special emphasis is given to  data about the gut. What might feminism learn from biology? &nbsp;The goal is to broaden the value of biological data  for scholarship in the humanities and social sciences, and to expand the  material profile through which feminists have analyzed depression. <a href="mailto:Sharon.Fitch@concordia.ca"></a></p>

    <p style="margin-top: 0;"><span style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">Over the past thirty years the economic gap between the  world&rsquo;s richest and the&nbsp; poorest nations  has grown sharply and there has been an alarming and accelerating growth in the  world&rsquo;s barrios, favelas and slums.&nbsp; Yet,  some of the world&rsquo;s fastest growing economies are now located in the Global  South and in recent years many southern nations have campaigned aggressively to  host international mega-events, such as Olympics and World&rsquo;s Fairs, as part of their  strategies for continued economic development. This talk explores the extent to  which such events actually deliver the development that their supporters  promise as well as who </span>wins in this type of consumption based development strategy,  and who loses.</p>
    <p>Prof. Gruneau will also lead a workshop, <span style="font-style: italic">&quot;Reported Deaths and Premature Burials:&nbsp; Rethinking the Concept of Ideology in Contemporary Social Analysis&quot;</span> on Friday, Nov. 4 at 11:00 a.m. in H-1120.&nbsp;Over the past half-century many social and cultural analysts  have declared the &ldquo;death&rdquo; or the lack of utility of the concept of  ideology.&nbsp; In the wake of the market  triumphalism of the early 1990s, as well as challenges from theoretical  movements associated with feminism, post-structuralism, and postmodernism, the  concept of ideology seemed fully buried. But, reports of ideology&rsquo;s demise were  almost immediately challenged by a spate of key books during the 1990s written  as conscious projects of retrieval.&nbsp; This  talk outlines a brief contemporary history of challenges to the  concept of ideology and discusses how, in the last decade in particular,  ideology has made a comeback as a critical concept in social analysis.</p>
    <p>Dr. Richard Gruneau is widely regarded as a  pioneer in the development of interdisciplinary popular cultural studies in  Canada. He teaches in the areas of media and popular  culture, communications theory and history, and the political economy of  communication.&nbsp; His research projects  include topics ranging from the critical analysis of news to the study of  television sports production and the making of Canadian government sports  policy.&nbsp; His television series, <strong>The Canadian Game</strong> (Knowledge Network,  1989) was the first documentary television series to examine the place of  hockey in Canadian popular culture. Prof. Gruneau was the originator and editor  of a notable book series on <strong>Culture and  Communication in Canada</strong>, (Garamond Press, 1990-2000). &nbsp;His new book, <strong>Sport and the Critique of Modernity</strong> is scheduled for publication in  2012.&nbsp;</p>
